A Smile Award

Imagine my surprise...to open my very own, new little blog and find an award!! I cannot even remember the last time I was given an award...how sweet it is to have so many new blogging friends. Thank you very much, Heather, for my Smile Award!! (Wow, I even like the name of it....) As Heather explained, the characteristics of the Smile Award are:

1......You must display a cheerful attitude. (well, I try...of course, I usually don't long on or publish a post when I'm in a grouchy mood!)

2......You must show love to others. (my new friends are all so nice that this one is easy)

3......You must make mistakes. (oh boy...got that one covered!)

4......You must learn from others. (and that is the fun part....things I have learned so far: many great recipes, how to enjoy the important things in life, some really terrific decorating ideas...just to name a few)

5......You must be a positive contributor to blogging. (hope so)

6......You must love life. (That I can say for sure, is the truth!)

7......You must love kids. (Another one I know for sure...)

As with most things..there are a few rules to follow when receiving the Smile Award. And those are:

1......You must link back to the award creator. (Will give this my best shot...not exactly sure how to "link" anyone or anything???)

2.....You must post the rules if you are a recipient. (so noted)

3.....You must choose 5 people to pass the award to. (will do)

4.....You must post the characteristic of the award and fit the characteristics of the award. (see previous paragraph..)

5......You must create a post sharing your win with others. (ta da)

6......You must thank the giver of the award. (see line two!!)

Whew....that was alot to get started but now, I can hand out awards....

About Me

Welcome to my blog..I’m so glad you stopped by. I am a Christian wife and mother seeking to honor the Lord with my life. Since August 2006, when my youngest son went home to Heaven, I am also a grieving mom. And while my life is full and blessed – creating a home for my hubbie, loving our grown children – my heart is always hurting. However, God is faithful…and teaching me daily how I can live my life with purpose and with joy even in the midst of my sorrow.
I’m handing Him the ashes of my sorrow-filled days in order that He might make something beautiful for His glory!
